Mozart, the one and only: The "Easy" C major Sonata, K. 545; and the early F major, K. 280.


Historical context

All written when every sound of each work was in the category of never-before-heard. Cast your ears back into such a mode of wonderment. It has taken me a lifetime to outgrow the prejudices of over-familiarity in the case of Mozart, and of what-on-earth? in the case of CPE. Well worth the effort.
